Located near India's Taj Mahal, the Sheroes Hangout café is managed by acid attack survivors. But with few customers, these brave employees have used the downtime to equip themselves with new skills.
(CNN) — Up until recently, many travelers visiting India's famed monument of love, the Taj Mahal, would also add a stop at the nearby Sheroes Hangout to their itinerary. Located just a few kilometers from the famed Indian icon in the northern city of Agra, this cafe is managed and staffed by acid attack survivors. Most of the smiling women working in the venue, founded by India's Chhanv Foundation in 2014, have visibly scarred skin, some bearing damaged eyes, others appearing as if their entire faces have been melted by the horrifying acts of violence.More Related News
